Irreverent thought for the day: I know leaders are different from the people they lead in many ways, but I can't help thinking that the guidelines of Catholic Popes (and especially the more recent ones, who have had opportunity to see the effects of overpopulation and unprotected sex) would have been much more practical had they given up celibacy and bred like rabbits, in which case they would have discovered long ago that there are many situations where the "every soul is sacred" maxim - like most one-size-fits-all rules - is really not a good idea. (Personally I think it would have been more consistent had they preached what they practice (i.e. celibacy), but that would be going against the grain of human nature).
